Hello Everyone,
Our 2024/2025 Middle School wrestling program and season are fast approaching and
registration is open! We are looking to hold a preseason meeting on 11/25/24 in the NMS
cafeteria @ 6:00pm. The preseason meeting is a good review of what wrestling @ Norton is all about.
To include the basics of wrestling, practice setup and schedule, as well as how our meets run and a tentative schedule. This meeting is not mandatory, but a helpful review for those who are returning and a helpful introduction to anyone new. Generally speaking, we try to allow each wrestler to develop @ their own pace, by developing their skills and character while having fun. Practices are held @ the HS on Tuesdays and Fridays from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. Transportation from the MS to the HS will most likely be done via minibus or carpool. Transportation from the Yelle to the HS will most likely be done via carpool. After practice, wrestlers should be picked up @ the HS @ 5:00pm in the wrestling room.
Meets will be held mostly on Wednesdays. We will try to schedule other meets on Saturdays
depending on the other team’s availability. A tentative schedule is attached below.
Home meets will be held @ the HS. On Wednesday home meets, wrestlers will transport to the
HS after school and be picked up @ the HS. Wednesday MS meets will be held from 5:00pm to
6:00pm. If we are able to schedule any Saturday meets, all wrestlers will meet @ the HS @
8:30am and will finish @ approximately 10:00am.
Wednesday away meets will take place @ approximately 5:00pm and there will be more
information on transportation soon. If we are able to schedule any Saturday away meets, they
will take place from approximately 8:30am to 10:00am and information on transportation will be
provided beforehand.
Our first practice will be held on 12/17/24 and the season will end on 2/7/24.
Registration can be done on the school website through Arbiter Sports.
Hope to see you all on 11/25/24!
